Comments (32)I too am beginning to wonder if what Jujujojo saw was an Epiphyllum, the size of the blooms certainly sounds like it? Cyber, you didn't misunderstood...I'm guessing he didn't make it on Black friday or they never got more in? Shame, I really wanted to see them also... Julianna, what is Queens? So many plants I'm not familiar with. Thanks! Juju, the website below...is this similar to ones you saw at Walmart?

Comments (45)I live in SWFlorida and I have been growing both queens wreath and sky vine for five years and love them both. Earlier comments regarding the need for constant pruning of the sky vine are correct but if you have the time the resulting blooms are worth it. One plant covered an eight foot section 4 feet high of chainlink fence and provide a wonderful color display when in bloom and a nice green wall when not. I built a 4 foot ladder trellis for my queens wreath and planted on plant at each end. Within two years the woody vine climbed to the four foot top a spread out across the eight foot long ladder. It now blooms about every three to four months and it is the one plant that I have that everyone who sees it in bloom raves about. Two great plants either is great but the wreathed is a definate show stopper....See MoreOBF Christmas Stocking Stuffer Swap
Comments (247)Thank you so much Tammy for the wonderful gifts I received wine glass, candy canes, cookie cutter, cute card and owl ornament, instructions for winter seed growing. I especially appreciate all of your cute sayings and printouts on each package, that really took quite a bit of time, I really loved the little seed envelope that you made yourself with the 3 different seeds inside that was great. Thank you for taking the time to make the swap so special. Thank you! Kim...See More

Hi-lo arodinmiami, I write from to you from the Highveld in Gauteng - sunny South Africa -
I recently purchased a Petrea Volibilis (Queens Wreath) and would like to grow and shape into a standard specimen quite like yours as pictured adjacent to your driveway Alternatively could include it with Jasmine ,Cecile Brunner, Granny's Delight on the arbour - What suggestions do you guys have- Thanks so much - This is a new garden +- 9mths. old The Petrea is standing in the forefront on the left and want the best position for it albeit a 'runaway with the bay.'

6 years agoHere is my Petrea Volibilis which I have just planted and will attempt to train as a Standard. The three little girls in a row are Arisodontea .My Cecile Brunner adjacent to the arbour is taking absolutely ages to get started. Can anyone give her a vote of confidence?
